2024 fashion trends seen on TODAY
The Cropped Trench
Imily Bela Womens Cropped Trench Coat
You're likely used to seeing trench coats go down to the knee or the ankle, but one of Snow's predictions for 2024 is the cropped version of this popular coat. This one from Imily Bela is described as lightweight to throw over basics or elevate casual attire.
To style this product, Snow recommends the below items:
Ann Taylor The Easy Wide Leg Pant
According to reviews, the name of these pants is true: They're easy to put on and just as easy to wear.
H&M Slingback Pumps
You can't go wrong with a simple pump. This pair from H&M is versatile, stylish and most importantly, affordable.
Editor’s note: Since Snow’s recommendations is nearly out of stock, see a similar style below:
Zara Buckled Strap Slingback Shoes
At just two inches, these slingback Zara pumps offer a decent amount of height to wear comfortably during any occasion.
Banana Republic Nezha Merino Sweater
What we appreciate most about this sweater vest is that it is the perfect base layering piece. The high neck, merino wool fabric and ribbed detailing tells us that it is both warm and stylish.
ASOS Design Cropped Trench Coat
Another option to consider, this pick is slightly oversized, offering a bit more room to add some layering pieces underneath on especially chilly days.
Zara Faux Suede Cropped Trench
For adding a bit of texture to your wardrobe, consider this faux suede cropped trench coat from Zara. Stick with your standard size for an oversized fit or size down if you prefer a more fitted look.
WeWoreWhat Cropped Trench Coat
This trench has a military-esque look thanks to its padded shoulders, buck detail at the cuffs and overall structure.
Cropped Shacket or Blazer
Gap Puff Sleeve Cropped Wool Shirt Jacket
What we appreciate most about this shirt jacket, other than the plaid print, is that it hits right at the hips to balance the torso length. Not only that, but shirt jackets are incredibly versatile to pair with a variety of outfits.
To style this product, Snow recommends the below items:
A New Day Long Sleeve Oversized Button-Down Boyfriend Shirt
A simple white button up can do wonders for any wardrobe. Why? It isn't just a top you can wear to work — you can also play with it for both nights out and casual events, too.
Eloquii High Rise Loose Grommet Jean
You've heard of ripped and ribbed jeans, but how about grommet jeans? Just this small details makes this classic denim stand out.
Zara Faux Patent Leather Penny Loafers
A loafer is another item you should have in your closet. It is a staple for when you what to wear a shoe that is both comfy and sophisticated for both inside and outside of the office.
Gap Cropped Linen-Cotton Blazer
Alongside cropped shackets, Snow predicts that shorter blazers will be popular, too. The style alone makes the perfect transition from the office to dinner with friends.
Editor's note: Since Snow's recommendations is nearly out of stock, see a similar style below:
Express Plaid Double Breasted Cropped Blazer
Another cropped blazer, this pick features a plaid print to add some dimension to any wardrobe.
Aritzia Little Cropped Jacket
The appeal of shackets is that they're meant to resemble a button-up shirt. That way, it fits comfortably throughout, even when buttoned all the way. This one from Artizia follows those same details and is made with a soft recycled viscose fabric. Cozy!
Everlane The Structured Cotton Cropped Shirt
This collared button-down is neatly tailored to maintain its slightly boxy shape when buttoned and unbuttoned. We picture it with a tank or tee underneath or even own its own.
Bows
Mango Bow Leather Shoes
Bows aren't just accessories for the hair, you can also sport them on your shoes, too! This version from Mango comes in a block heel style and ankle strap for added stability.
Zara Block Heel Bow Pumps
These Zara pumps take the bow trend up a notch by having the embellishment seamlessly blend with the faux leather patent finish throughout.
Express Ankle Bow Closed Pointed Toe Pumps
You don't always need a special occasion to go bold with your fashion choices, especially with this trend. After all, bows are an accessory that are meant to stand out and the extra large bow on these pumps surely do.
Express 2 Row Rhinestone Snakechain Bow Drop Necklace
This necklace is another way to incorporate bows into your attire. There are rhinestone pieces and a snake chain throughout that eventually create a perfectly made bow.
Anthropologie Pearl Velvet Wrap Hair Ties
Bows, in essence, are meant to be dainty. And Anthropologie's pearl velvet hair ties are exactly that — and they come in a set of six to gently wrap around the hair.
Editor’s note: Since Snow’s recommendations is out of stock, see a similar style below:
Anthropologie Small Velvet Bow Clips
These bows come in a set of 10 and reviewers claim they're not too bold, which is perfect for those that only want an accent in their hair rather than a full-on statement piece.
Claire's Black Satin Bow Barrette Hair Clip
Claire's bow hair clip is in the classic style that essentially started the bow trend. Simply clip above your ponytail, bun or half-up hairdo to complete any look.
More bow trend recommendations:
- Claire's Ivory Sheer Bow Hair Clip, $5.99 (previously $9.99)

All things peach
Adidas Grand Court Alpha Sneaker
The color peach fuzz has been the buzz recently because it was named as Pantone's color of the year. To celebrate the shade, consider wearing it on your sneakers, such as this pair from Adidas.
Joyfolie Matyson Hoodie
This Joyfolie pullover is everything you want in a hoodie: slightly oversized, a bit boxy and cozy! It's also in peach, of course, and slightly cropped to pair with high-waisted bottoms.
Joyfolie Minju Skirt
Peach doesn't stop there. To pair with the hoodie, Snow recommends this Joyfolie lace maxi skirt to perfectly match.
Toms Victoria Terracotta Crystal Sunglasses
Sunglasses should look cute and be protective, which is why we had to suggest this pair from Toms. The lenses have 100% UVA/ UVB protection, according to the brand, and are crafted from acetate and metal for durability. Plus, that color is gorgeous!
Bffs & Babes Love on the Cuff Sweatshirt
Add a bit of personalization to any wardrobe. Bffs and Babes gives you the option to personalize a selection of their products, including their 'Cool Aunt' sweatshirt, at no additional cost.

Mary Janes
Steve Madden Hawke Block-Heel Mary Jane Pumps
Mary Janes continue to be popular in 2024. The reason behind their desirability is because of two things: Their aesthetic and comfort! The block heel and strap across the top of the foot — like on this pair from Steve Madden — should offer tons of support and tons of styling opportunities.
Franco Sarto Tinsley Mary Jane Flat
If a heel isn't your thing but you want to join in on the trend, these shoes from Franco Sarto offer the perfect medium of a Mary Jane and a flat.
Zara Strappy Heeled Mary Janes
Here's a chic twist on the Mary Jane style. Zara offers the shoe in a small pump with three thin straps across the top of the foot.
Nine West Bruilia Mary Jane Flat
Besides the open back, one of the standout features in this Mary Jane flat is the silver chainlink detail across the strap. It makes for easily styling with other silver accessories for when you want to dress up.
Mega Bags
H&M Shoulder Bag
Something everyone needs in their wardrobe? A simple black shoulder bag, especially this one from H&M. It fits within the mega bag (our essentials deserve an open space!) and capsule wardrobe trends.
Jessica Simpson Walton Shopper
This Jessica Simpson Walton Shopper is designed with faux leather, gold detailing and fringe for tons of personality.
Mango Printed Shopper Bag
A printed shopper bag can instantly make the simplest outfits stand out. Mango offers their shopper in a burgundy, brown and grey color scheme.
Madewell The Magazine Tote Bag
Madewell knows a thing or two about leather. Add a leather tote bag from the brand into the mix and you know it is well made. It makes sense why their Magazine Tote Bag remains one of their most popular items because it checks these boxes and more.
